Course Descriptions - Electronic Engineering Technology

EE110 - DC Circuits (4 Credits)Introduction to basic DC circuit theory. Topics include a study of SI units; Ohm’s Law and Kirchhoff’s Law; series, parallel, and series-parallel circuits, power and energy relations. Also Thevenin’s, Norton’s and Maximum Power Theorems. Topics reviewed and reinforced in the accompanying laboratory. Prerequisites: Pass placement testing or complete MA105 with a GPA of at least 2.00. Corequisites: EE101, MA120 (Offered in the fall and spring)

EE223 - Electronics II (4 Credits)This course will analyze bipolar differential amplifiers, operational amplifiers, feedback, class A, B, and C power amplifiers, and single stage FET amplifiers. The advantages and disadvantages of each will be discussed, including costs. Prerequisites: EE122, MA130 (Offered in the fall)

EE235 - Programmable Logic (4 Credits)Students will study both the technical and business benefits of programmable integrated circuits. They will learn to simulate both combinational circuits and sequential logic circuits, and Finite State Machines. In the laboratory, CAE tools will enable the student to design, program and test circuits. Prerequisites: CT143, EE101, EE122, EE131, MA120; Corequisite: EE223 (Offered in the fall)

EE240 - Embedded Processors (4 Credits)This course focuses on micro-controller/microprocessor technology, basic hardware components of a micro-controller, programming concepts, timers, interrupts, A/D converter operations with interfacing concepts to perform I/O operations. Students will be exposed to assembling components, downloading and running assembly language programs to control these components, and hardware interfacing. There is an emphasis on using the manufacturer’s documentation to confirm that the controller’s instructions correspond to the proper operation of the controller’s hardware and peripheral components. Prerequisites: CT143, EE101, EE131. (Offered in the spring)

EE250 - Electronic Communications (4 Credits)This course will cover the concept of electronic communications and networking. It will provide students with a practical focus that can better prepare them for real life practices and experiences. The contents are: fundamental concepts, Fourier Series, amplitude modulation and demodulation, analog to digital conversion, digital to analog conversion, Ethernet, and TCP/IP protocol. Prerequisites: EE113, EE223, MA240 (Offered in the spring)

EE254 - Networking for End Users (4 Credits)This course is intended for those who need to install, configure, troubleshoot, repair computers or instrumentation to connect to the local area network in the workplace. Connections to wired 802.3 and wireless 802.11 networks will be discussed. (Offered in the spring)

MD223 - Medical Instrumentation I (4 Credits)Study of medical devices and transducers used in Intensive Care Units and general patient floors. Covers typical circuits, applications, safe usage of devices, and interpretation of derived data. Emphasis on troubleshooting and repair techniques as applied to medical devices. Prerequisites: A GPA of 2.0 in EE110, EE113, EE122, EE131 or a waiver from the department chair. (Offered in the fall)

MD225 - Medical Instrumentation II (4 Credits)A continuation of MD223. More complex medical devices are introduced that incorporate both previously learned technologies as well as new concepts. Increased emphasis is placed on safety and equipment testing. Opportunities to use troubleshooting and repair techniques are provided. Prerequisite: MD223 (Offered in the spring)

MD242 - Clinical Internship (4 Credits)Student is placed in a hospital clinical engineering department to gain experience in a professional working environment. Students will perform various assigned duties, some of which involve preventive maintenance or repair of medical equipment and will become familiar with equipment and specialty tools used in the biomedical field. Prerequisite: MD223 Corequisite: MD225 (Offered in the spring)
